Abstract in Portuguese
Os objetivos desse estudo foram avaliar a transmissão transplacentária por N. caninum em diferentes fases da gestação (Exp I) e avaliar diferentes tecidos de bovinos como meio de transmissão de N. caninum em cães jovens e adultos (Exp II). No Exp I, Três cadelas foram inoculadas com 108 taquizoítos de N. caninum na 3ª semana de gestação, três na 6ª semana e uma permaneceu como controle. Todas as cadelas infectadas, e pelo menos um de seus filhotes, apresentaram soroconversão a anticorpos anti-N. caninum pela Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta. Verificou-se presença do parasita pela coloração de Hematoxilina-Eosina em Sistema Nervoso Central e pela PCR ITS-1 e RFLP em linfonodo, cérebro, coração e fígado. No Exp II, cães jovens e adultos receberam diferentes tecidos de bovinos naturalmente infectados com N. caninum, sendo coração, cérebro, masseter e fígado. Não houve soroconverteu. Apenas os cães jovens eliminaram oocistos de N. caninum ao ingerirem masseter (2 cães, 40%), coração (2 cães, 40%), fígado (1 cão, 33%) e cérebro (3 cães, 75%).

Abstract in English
The objectives of this study were to evaluate transplacental transmission of N. caninum in different stages of pregnancy (Exp I) and evaluate different bovine tis.sues as means of transmission of N. caninum in young dogs and adults (Exp II). In Exp I, Three dogs were inoculated with 108 tachyzoites of N. caninum in the third week of gestation, three at 6 sixth week and one remained as a control. All infected dogs, and at least one of their offspring, seroconverted to anti-N. caninum antibodies by Immunofluorescence Assay. There was presence of the parasite by Hematoxylin- Eosine exam in Central Nervous System and by PCR and RFLP ITS-1 in lymph node, brain, heart and liver. In Exp II, young and adult dogs received different tissues of cattle naturally infected with N. caninum: heart, brain, liver and masseter. None seroconverted. Only the young dogs shed oocysts of N. caninum by eating masseter (2 dogs, 40%), heart (2 dogs, 40%), liver (one dog, 33%) and brain (3 dogs, 75%).
